About the Restylane Family of Products

Why does skin age?

If you are like most people, you've noticed that as you age, your facial appearance changes.

While most people are aware of how repeated facial expressions (like smiling or frowning), sun exposure and hormonal changes may cause noticeable lines and wrinkles, many are not aware of the role that hyaluronic acid plays in the aging process.

As we age, our skin begins to lose hyaluronic acid, which is responsible for maintaining moisture in the skin. It is this moisture that helps hydrate the skin and creates facial volume. Hydration, volume, and elasticity (from collagen) result in a youthful, healthy-looking appearance.

The decreased production of hyaluronic acid and collagen over time causes a loss of firmness, volume and elasticity, often resulting in a sagging or more wrinkled facial appearance. Some common examples are the sagging you may see in your cheeks, lower face, jaw-line, and chin. Your skin may also appear thinner and look less smooth due to prominent lines and wrinkles.

There is a way to help replace lost volume, define facial contours and achieve a more youthful look with the Restylane family of injectable gels.

The Restylane family of products includes Restylane, Restylane Fine Lines, Restylane-L, Perlane, and Perlane-L.

Whether you're interested in reducing the signs of aging or enhancing your facial features, the Restylane family of products may provide treatment options tailored to your individual appearance goals. You can instantly add volume to smooth lines and wrinkles or help define your facial features such as your lips, cheeks, and jawline.

See results immediately.

Restylane replaces lost volume to smooth away wrinkles and define facial contours providing immediate results. Restylane is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to act like your body's own hyaluronic acid. Restylane can be used to visibly reduce moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds for a more youthful appearance.

What is the difference between Restylane and Restylane Fine Lines?

Restylane Fine Lines is recommended for the correction of thin, superficial lines, for example the lines around the eyes and mouth, forehead lines, and smile lines.

When should I consider Perlane?

Like Restylane, Perlane is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to add fullness like your body’s own hyaluronic acid.

What makes Perlane different is the average size of the particles and the depth of injection. On average, the gel particles in Perlane are larger than those in Restylane, which makes Perlane appropriate for shaping facial contours and wrinkles that benefit from a deeper injection into the skin. Ask the doctor if Perlane is right for you.

Perlane has been used for nearly a decade in more than 65 countries worldwide and is available with lidocaine for a more comfortable experience¹.

How do I choose the right product for me?

During your consultation, the doctor will advise which product is right for you.
